If we'd lost an eye, we would have a hard time making ourselves presentable. Maria showed up to her first big press conference in a blue crushed velvet blazer. She looked like she was about to kick somebody's ass in a ‘70s kung fu movie. It's a look only a professional racing driver can pull off. As our adoring readers affirmed, she looked amazing.

The amount of love poured out by everyone was genuinely heartening. We think Rocketboy_X put it best.

"When I saw myself I thought 'Who is going to love me looking like this?' But since then I've realized they have loved more than in a whole life. I have enough love to cover this life and the next."

Based on the reaction to the last article that was published with a recent picture, she does not need to worry.

Now that she's recovering, we're starting to wonder if there's ever been a more stylish racecar driver than Ms. de Villota.
